Bummer... I guess the "." and ".." are artifacts of a dual Classic /
OS X situation? Or maybe it's just a MetaCard thing.
In any case, the only other alternative I can think of would be to use
AppleScript. I'm not an expert there, but undoubtedly there is a
delete folder function.
Thanks for your advice, Brian. :)
If you are really stuck in Transcript land, you could try
using shell() to call through to the command-line where
things behave like you are accustomed to? If you use "rm"
on the command line (UNIX / Linux / MacOS X), there are
options to recurse and force delete everything ...
But.. unfortunately.. I'm NOT using a UNIX-based OS. In this case,
I'm using a Mac Classic 9.x for my MetaCard work. As you probably
know old Mac's don't provide SHELL-access!
OTOH, since MetaCard 2.5 runs on OLD macs, as well as new ones, and
provides the "delete folder fPath" syntax, I should still be able to
do this, without upgrading to a UNIX-based machine (Mac or otherwise).
Anyone-else want to chip-in some additional information ? :)
Thanks nonetheless, Brian. :-)
Alain
